This place could be amazing. However, a lack of maintenance and upkeep lets it down badly. The property is off the main road and the first sign is hidden behind a shrub. When you arrive, the rooms are hard to find because there are no signs to the different rooms. On arrival, we had to ring the manager (there is no reception on site) to find out which was our allocated room - they were unaware of our booking because they hadnt checked their booking system for half a day. once we found the room, we found that the sliding glass dorr could not be locked - had a bodgy metal plate with a pin lock but it was out of alignment. Paint peeling, dirty cushions on the lounge, a toilet that takes 2 minutes to refill in the middle of the night, noisy air con, grounds generally not mowed - not sure what the collection of junk was in the enclosure below the pool. Alsynite sheeting blowing off one room nearby. So much potential but clearly no interest from the management / owner to develop that potential or to even tidy the rooms up a little. So sad to see such a great place falling apart through a lack of care.

Spiders and cobwebs everywhere. Bath towels ripped with holes. I would recommended not advertising this place through Expedia. Needs a lot of work and maintenance and should be shut down if can’t operate properly

Cute and cosy
The location of the resort was amazing and the views from the cottage is breathtaking. Also, the close proximity of the city centre and nearby attractions is an added advantage. However, the place itself was slightly worn down. We noticed that it wasnt thoroughly cleaned when we arrived. The sheets had been changed and that was pretty much it. We enjoyed our stay there; however a quick vaccum and mopping before would have been even nicer. Overall, it is budget friendly and in a perfect location.

Overall, the property was tired and unkept. The cleanliness of the room was unsatisfactory. The sofa bed had hair and other dirt on it and old food underneath. We all slept in the bed instead. There was a lot of dirt on the floor. There were exposed wires on the lamp and broken globe. The fly screen would not close on the deck and door to the deck did not lock. Positives were the location, which was great and the size and comfort of the bed. Although there were no staff on site at all, staff were contactable by phone and polite.

Stayed here being the only room in the Hunter available for The Killers concert. It was a good price reflective of the accomodation, and the location is good. If you’re expecting luxury, it’s not for you, but for a reasonable well-priced bed that you can book for 1 night only (usually a 2 night min. in the Hunter), it serves a purpose. A few simple things would make all the difference - the sofa bed wasn’t useable, a clean tea towel (it was very well used and not by us!) and a Jay cloth to wash up, and an outdoor light that worked when coming back at midnight post-concert in the pitch black. The reception team were friendly and efficient in the correspondence I had and the room was ready on arrival with easy key-in-door check in.
